Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's Twitter Account Was Hacked

It turns out Dmitry Medvedev isn't quitting. But he might want to change his Twitter password.

A flurry of tweets from the official account of the prime minister of Russia confused reporters early on Thursday with the announcement that he was resigning over President Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine.

“I am resigning. I am embarrassed by the actions of the government. Forgive me,” a tweet said. Another tweet hijacked the popular KrymNash hashtag which, according to the Moscow Times, translates as "Crimea is ours".

I am resigning, says Russia's prime minister

"Crimea is not ours, please retweet," he posted. Another read: "I have long wanted to say. Vova! [Vladimir Putin's nickname] You are wrong!"

Medvedev's twitter was hacked and for glorious 40 minutes we thought we loved him. "I resign, I am ashamed of the government, forgive me."
